The Dutch painter Vermeer has remained one of the great enigmas of 17th-century Dutch art. While little is known of his personal life, his extraordinary paintings of natural and domestic life, with their subtle play of light and colour, have come to define the Dutch Golden Age. The mysterious portrait of the anonymous Girl with a Pearl Earring has fascinated art historians for centuries, and it is this magnetic painting that lies at the heart of Tracy Chevalier's second novel of the same title.
Girl with a Pearl Earring centres on Vermeer's prosperous household in Delft in the 1660s. The appointment of the quiet, perceptive heroine of the novel, the servant Griet, gradually throws the household into turmoil as Vermeer and Griet become increasingly intimate, an increasingly tense situation that culminates in her working for Vermeer as his assistant, and ultimately sitting for him as a model. Chevalier deliberately cultivates a limpid, painstakingly observed style in homage to Vermeer, and the complex domestic tensions of the Vermeer household are vividly evoked, from the jealous, vain, young wife to the wise, taciturn mother-in-law. At times the relationship between servant and master seems a little anachronistic, but Girl with a Pearl Earring does contain a final delicious twist in its tail. Chevalier acknowledges her debt to Simon Schama's classic study of the Dutch Golden Age, The Embarrassment of Riches, and the novel comes hard on the heels of Deborah Moggach's similar tale of domestic intrigue behind the easel of 17th-century Dutch painting, Tulip Fever.
Girl with a Pearl Earring is a fascinating piece of speculative historical fiction, but how much more can novelists extract from the Dutch Golden Age? --Jerry Brotton --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

世间最令人伤魂的爱, 不是两厢痴痴相爱, 而是咫尺之间却恍若隔世。 世间最令人断肠的情恨, 不是一流天河横隔而遥遥想望, 而是耳鬓丝磨呼吸可闻却在在不得回音…… 几年前,因为一次偶然的原因看了同名电影,对Scarlett Johansson 那鬼斧神工的演技叹为观止。 那眼...
評分最近读了莫邪.屠龙玩关于《跟塞斯学素描》的评论“我不知道苹果的颜色”,感动得几乎要落下眼泪来。她像一个小孩子一样写自己学习绘画的过程,她为画出来黑不溜秋的苹果而丧气,为发现笔下那些明亮的风景连自己都觉得惊奇。最让我心动的是结尾她写到: “后来又看到Balkwill的...
評分摊开纸,先用铅笔勾勒出花朵的大致外形,接着仔细描绘出线稿,花瓣不要画得过于圆润,有些缺损才显得自然;叶脉的走向比较特别,记得左右要对称;花茎略微有些倾斜,会让花的姿态显得更加优美。线稿完成了,接下来就是上色——对了,你知道芍药是什么颜色的么?不,不是红色,...
評分用了一个小时读完这本不算很厚的书,突然想起以前看过的一首日本儿歌:花儿很香,铃儿也很响,少女也一样,如今吸引人,以后的命运却悲凉。 在文字中不断闪现的竟然是04年在飞机上看的那部电影的男女主角。觉得女主角(后来才知道是大名鼎鼎的scarlet johnson)很呆,男主角没...
